Thank you for this post. My Dr wants to do ECT and I've been worried about it. I took Lamictal generic and had a bad reaction to it. Made me much more depressed and affected my cognition functioning for the worse. I thought ECT might speed up my brain again after the Lamictal slowed it down. I'm also searching for cognition boosting medication. I don't know about the Memantine. Looks like it slows down the brain by blocking glutamate which is what Lamictal does and it made me lose my memory. I am not bipolar so I should never had taken it , maybe thats why I had such a negative experience with it. I've bought several different things over the internet but never found any thing that has made a big difference.
